What is required to register?

A completed registration form and a $100 nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit is required to register. One-half of the total registration cost is due June 15.

When is the full balance due?

The full balance is due October 15, 2015. Any unpaid registration fees after this date may result in cancellation and forfeiture of reservation and all fees paid.

If I am unable to attend the event due to unforeseen circumstances and I have paid the full registration fee, can I receive a refund?

The $100 deposit is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Any amount paid above the $100 deposit will be 100 percent refundable until October 15, 2015.

Double room (two participants)

A limited number of rooms with king-size beds are available. Inquire about availability.

Note: Please indicate on your registration form if you have other room requests due to a medical condition.

I plan to arrive late/leave early. Can I be refunded for the cost of that night's hotel room?

The registration fee is an all-inclusive rate and is based upon the overall cost of the event. Reduction in registration fees cannot be made. However, you may alter the arrival and departure dates to accommodate your schedule. Please indicate dates you will stay on the registration form.

I plan to arrive early and leave early (ex: arrive on 12/2/15 and depart on 12/6/15). Can I do this without any penalty or change fees?

Yes. Participants may change their arrival and departure dates. Additional fees will not be applied if you still have a four-night stay. Participants will be charged only for additional nights. Please note any changes on your registration form, or notify event staff at Contact@AnniesNeedleArtsFestival.com.

Where will the event activities take place?

The opening banquet and all classes will be held at the Kingsmill Resort, 1010 Kingsmill Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185. The Saturday banquet location is to be determined.

Are there any restaurants close to the hotel?

Kingsmill Resort has five on-site restaurants that feature a variety of atmospheres and menus. In addition, Williamsburg has a variety of fine restaurants. Reservations are strongly recommended, as this is a very busy time of year for the area. Restaurant listings and information can be found at www.colonialwilliamsburg.com. For tavern reservations in the Colonial area, call 1-800-HISTORY (1-800-447-8679).

What are the closest airports to Williamsburg, and how much is the taxi fare from each to Williamsburg?

Unfortunately, we are not able to coordinate transportation to and from airports to the hotel. We suggest you leave a post on the Annie's Needle Arts Festival Facebook page indicating that you are looking to share a ride.
